Greg is a top shelf gunsmith and all around great guy. This is a .338 based off of the 300WSM case. This pistol was built to be my new "go to" hunting pistol. It will be going to South Africa with me at the end of April for plains game and also to Montana this fall for a mulie/elk combo pack in hunt.

Winchester felt that they couldn't get the best ballistics from the 338 WSM; hence, went to the 325 WSM. Not sure if that is just the "party" line from Winchester or what. I am in the process of building another XP in a 338 caliber, 338 Fed to 338 WSM. Let me know, my caliber decision may be based upon your results. Doc
